COMBINATION-TABLE FOR KITCHENS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 25, 1907.

Application led October 25, 1906. Serial N0. 340,529.

, To f//ZZ'zz/tom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, THEoDoR DRUZBAOH, a subj ect of the Emperor ofGermany, residing at Flensburg, Germany, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Combination-Tables for Kitchens, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact specification.

' The present invention relates to improvements in tables preferablykitchen tables, which permit, that the table can be used for differentpurposes.

To this end a square box is journaled in the frame of the table in sucha way that the four sides can be turned up flush with the surface of thetable. Thus the table may present its ordinary surface or can present aboard for hacking meat or a depressed surface adapted to contain waterfor rinsing dishes and so forth.

In the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification: Figurel shows a table with my improvements infront elevation. Fig. 2 is a sideelevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section. Fig. 4 is across-section and Fig. 5 a plan view.

In the frame g of the table an oblong box of square cross-section isjournaled with pivn ots j in bearings between the cross-rails i, iforming part of the frame of the table. The revolving box may be securedin one or the other position by means of a screw bolt m' guided in a nutn, which is secured to the underside of the top plate. The end of saidscrew engages corresponding depressions or notches in the box, so as toprevent its turning forward or backward, To secure the box in position,sliding bolts may be used if desirable. One side of the box is open andthe bottom is secured at a suitable distance below so that the boxpresents an empty space av Well lined with zinc so that it can be usedas a bath tub or vat for washing etc. The op osite side is similar tothe side a but is divi ed by a partition so that two smaller vats I),also lined with Zinc, may be turned up to the top, and present basinsfor washing and rinsing dishes. One of the pivots f is perforated andtubes h are inserted into the perforations, extending through the endwall of the box and the sheet metal lining. This arrangement permits ofeasily drawing oif the water from the basins a or The two remainingsides of the box are closed, one side by a thick board c with raisededges, so as to be used for cutting vegetables, hacking meat and similaroperations. The opposite side is smoothly planed and when turned upwardis in line with the face of the table so that the top offers one flushsurface.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is:

1. A table in combination with a revoluble box longitudinally journaledin the frame of said table, and of a square cross-section having twoopposite sides open, divided by a middle partition, and having the othertwo sides closed, substantially as described.

2. A table in combination with a revoluble box longitudinally journaledin the frame of said table, and of a square cross-section, having twoopposite sides open divided by a partition, and having outlet pipessecured in one of the pivots, extending to the inner space of the box ator near the separating middle partition.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

THEOD OR DRUZBAOH.
